Comments Thread For: Mayweather: If Lennox Was There, Klitschkos Get Beat

[Joeyzagz]

Vitali is a quitter a cheater and a crybaby.

He is also a liar. He claimed in the post-fight interview that the cut was caused by a headbutt. 8 years later no one can produce a single photo or video of a clear headbutt landing: intentional or unintentional. The fact that he lied to Larry merchant shows that he would do just about anything to avoid accepting a loss.

The headbutt myth was the first dubious attempt at trying to discredit the Lennox victory. Since then Vitali and fans have invented new lies and excuses as to why 31 year old Vitali lost to 37 year old glass jaw Lennox. I cant wait to see what they come up with in the future. Until then...TKO6

I've never understood why Klit fans assume that Vitali was getting stronger and Lewis was exhausted. I think that some people didn't even watch the fight.

Look at the last 25 seconds of the 6th round, the man who is completely exhausted is Vitali. He's holding Lewis to save is life after taking some good clean punches to the body. He's in a complete survival mode. Lewis won fair and square, tko 6, if the fight continued Vitali could have lose his eye

A couple of FACTS regarding Vitali Klitschko's wins

- Vitali only beat Solis by landing an ILLEGAL rabbit punch to the back of Solis's head that discombobulated him and caused him to fall akwardly and injure his knee. Solis was WINNING before the fight was stopped. The crowd BOOED Vitali. Vitali still hasn't given Solis a rematch.

- Sanders was denied a LEGITIMATE knockdown in the first round of their fight which deterred him. Vitali then proceeded to hit him with a series of ILLEGAL backhands that bloodied Sanders's nose and mouth, causing him breathing difficulties and making him gas prematurely. Sanders was still on his feet at the time of the LUCKY stoppage, and would have gone on to KO Vitali had the CORRUPT referee not stepped in and called a halt to the fight.

- Danny Williams was HIT WHEN HE WAS DOWN when he fought Vitali. From that point on he was confused by the ILLEGAL punch and a sitting duck. Even so, he was denied an opportunity to win the fight when the CORRUPT referee waved him off despite getting to his feet and appearing lucid and fighting fit. Vitali also used the lacing of his glove to open a cut on Danny's nose that affected his breathing.

- Gomez was holding his own with Vitali until Vitali thumbed him and then headbutted him, causing him vision problems. Vitali had a large amount of vaseline on his hair specifically to cause this. The referee docked Vitali a point for this BLATANT breach of the rules. Vitali then hit the DEFENCELESS Gomez when his back was turned. Had he been fighting anywhere else he would have been disqualified.

- Vitali ducked Rahman for FOUR YEARS.

- Arreola was hurting Vitali who resorted to RUNNING AWAY from him the whole fight. The CORRUPT referee and cornermen prematurely stopped the fight, thus denying Arreola the chance of a last minute KO and causing him to cry like a BIG FAT GIRL. The crowd BOOED Vitali during the fight. The fact that Arnie and Sly were being shown on the screen at that very moment was just a COINCIDENCE.

- Adamek was... nah, I can't even make anything up for him.



But see how easy it is to write that crap? Give me a willing audience and they'll even believe it. Perhaps some of the more hardline Klitschko haters actually did believe some of it. Whatever. This sort of blatant nonsense and distortion of facts is what I and countless others have had to put up with for years, and every year it becomes more convoluted and more ridiculous and more inane. Five years from now who knows how this fight will be interpreted? We've already had headbutts causing the cut(s), backhands, side of the glove shots, lacing, even Lennox Lewis's braids!! I'd laugh if it wasn't so infuriatingly monotonous.

Lennox Lewis TKO 6.

Now that is a fact that can't be argued.

Agreed, Vitali would have been stopped in the 7th if the fight had continued and if so he wouldn't have still been boxing today because of it.

Sometimes I wish that had happened so we would never have had to hear of all this nonsense.

[LeadUppercut]

Lewis was still close to his prime at least and Vitali wasn't in his prime, it was a great fight and there should have been a rematch. Wladimir may end up being the greater heavyweight than Lewis he has the time and talent to do it.

What does " time and talent " have to do with producing an ATG resume'?

It is about who you fought, and when you fought them.

He needs opponents.

[Mr. Invincible]

I'm done..............

plus tyson was shot to ****..............

this guy is obviously trolling.........

You're not trolling you are a troll.

Lennox looked awesome and took Tyson out with ease. No it wasn't Tyson at his best but he wasn't shot either. Tyson vs. Williams and McBride was shot. There was a huge difference.

Stop calling the kettle black ****** a55

[Mr. Invincible]

cotto was the better fighter against margarito also. a fundamental part of boxing is protecting yourself at all times.

No he wasn't. He was the better boxer. There's a difference. He got patted down like Vitali was doing Lennox. Freak cut win that never was given a second go round. So be it. But I wan't stand for anyone discrediting Vitali when he has never been losing on the cards at a fights conclusion.

[Mr. Invincible]

Well, the cut was definitely caused initially by the punch. You see it spurt straight after he lands that chopping right hand. However, the rest of the stuff you're talking about? You wanna know what that's called? Let me tell you; it's called smart boxing and great tactics. He won the fight against a young, great champ when he was clearly out of shape and past his prime through experience, heart and ring savvy. It's what a great old champion does. They just win the fight.

Who cares what might have been, because what might have been didn't actually happen. What did happen was this; Vitali lost by TKO to a great, savvy old champion at the end of his game. That's it.

That's cool, I accept that. But people like you who don't think there should have been a rematch think this way because you know Lennox was getting his boots dusted down and are happy for it not happening.

This goes to anone who reads this on here:

If you don't think by the circumstances of the fight itself, Vitali's performance and how the fight ended doesn't warrant a rematch, you, yourself and nobody but you are what is wrong with boxing overall and the sport doesn't need a narrow minded fan like you.

Thats complete 100% GRADE A AFRICAN ENGLISH BULLCRAP.

1) Vitali was beating on Lewis
2) Lewis used inside of his glove to create a cut
3) Lewis was losing 4-2
4) HBO and Crowd were pissed and were saying Vitali won the "Real fight"
5) Crowd BOO'd Lewis
6) Crowd Cheered Vitali
7) Lewis wanted to get a fight with some bum like Tyson immediately after
8) Vitali kept chasing Lewis asking for a rematch
9) 12 months after the fight the commission told Lewis if he doesnt fight Vitali they are going to STRIP HIS BELT
10) He retired like the Haitain Canadian UK BUM Coward that he was grown up to be, never offered a rematch, even Steward called him a coward and told him to rematch Vitali, he was scared son.
11) He said in that fight "Im like Wine im getting better with age"
12) "Retired" 2 days before the belt was going to be stripped

Vitali beats the **** out of Lewis and all of his family tree at the same time.

I have added Lewis into the dictionary under: COWARD (see Lennox Lewis)

Lol, you're pathetic!
